But, though our Author cannot get his own Seditious Pamphlet to be read in Churches and in Chappels, I dare secure you, he introduces it into Conventicles, and Coffee-houses of his Faction:  besides, his sending it in Post Letters, to infect the Populace of every County.  ’Tis enough, that this Declaration is evidently the Kings, and the only true exception, which our Answerer has to it, is that he would deny his Majesty the power of clearing his intentions to the People:  and finds himself aggriev’d, that his King should satisfie them in spight of himself and of his party.

The next Paragraph is wholly spent, in giving us to understand, that a King, of England is no other thing than a Duke of Venice; take the Parallell all along:  and you will find it true by only changing of the names.  A Duke of Venice can do no wrong; in Senate he can make no ill Laws; in Council no ill Orders, in the Treasury can dispose of no Money, but wisely, and for the interest of the Government, and according to such proportions as are every way requisite:  if otherwise all Officers are answerable, &c.  Which is in effect, to say he can neither do wrong nor right, nor indeed any thing, quatenus a King.  This puts me in mind of Sancho Panca in his Government of the Island of Barataria, when he was dispos’d to eat or drink, his Physitian stood up for the People, and snatch’d the dish from him in their right, because he was a publick person, and therefore the Nation must be Judges to a dram and scruple what was necessary for the sustenance of the Head of the Body politique.  Oh, but there is a wicked thing call’d the Militia in their way, and they shew’d they had a moneths mind to it, at the first breaking out of the Popish Plot.  If they could once persuade his Majesty, to part graciously with that trifle, and with his power of making War and Peace; and farther, to resign all Offices of Trust, to be dispos’d by their nomination, their Argument would be an hundred times more clear:  for then it would be evident to all the World, that he could do nothing.  But if they can work him to part with none of these, then they must content themselves to carry on their new Design beyond Seas:  either of ingaging the French King to fall upon Flanders, or encouraging the States General to lay aside, or privately to cut off the Prince of Orange, or getting a War declared against England and France conjoyntly:  for by that means, either the King can be but a weak Enemy, and as they will manage matters, he shall be kept so bare of Money, that Twelve Holland Ships shall block up the River, or he shall be forced to cast himself upon a House of Commons, and to take Money upon their Terms, which will sure be as easie, as those of an Usurer to an Heir in want.  These are part of the projects now afoot:  and how Loyal and conscionable they are, let all indifferent persons judge.
